Horoscopes

Aries

Restlessness can stimulate the risk-taker in you today, but the tendency today is to misjudge. Watch that you don’t get too carried away right now. It’s important to remember to respect people’s boundaries – and to remember your own. Take it easy with money and pleasurable pursuits. Enjoy yourself, but don’t go over the top in order to do so.

Taurus

Desires may be coming on suddenly today but they likely stem from restlessness rather than true want. Going all out now is not necessarily going to improve your life, even if it feels that way at the moment! Some of you could experience conflicts between the demands of family and partnership. Keep expectations reasonable for best results. Even though you can be in an elated, even puffed up mood now, it’s very easy to burst your bubble.

Gemini

It will be especially important for you to avoid promising too much today. Overstating your feelings can eventually cause a problem in your life. Your mood might be elated, and as a result, you could feel as if you can take on anything. However, when you come back down to reality later on, you don’t want to be stuck with extra work or big bills. There can be questions of ethics or morals with someone you work with, for some of you. Creatively speaking, however, you’re in top form.

Cancer

Watch for spending more than you can afford today. Even if you can afford something, you might think twice before being extravagant right now, simply because the desires we experience today can be exaggerated and may not last. If a mood or desire comes on suddenly, you might question whether it’s truly coming from the heart. More likely, it’s a whim and won’t stick. Keep expectations of others realistic, especially in matters of the heart. Retreating or some level of withdrawal is appropriate again today. Tomorrow, you’ll be more inclined to reach out.

Leo

Overindulgences might be an issue today. A stronger desire for comfort can be experienced now, and while you should definitely enjoy yourself and perhaps splurge a little, try not to take things to regrettable lengths. Be good to your body. Emotional judgment can be off, and moods can swing up and down. Try to schedule leisurely activities now, as it’s unlikely you’ll be in the frame of mind to get a lot done. Keep expectations of others (and yourself) reasonable, and this can be an easy, sociable day.

Virgo

You may be dealing with jealousy or exaggeration today. You can have a strong desire to reach out and learn through others, but some shyness or hesitation may be involved. Take what’s said around you with a grain of salt. It’s not necessarily about deception today, but more about overestimating our capabilities, especially to fulfill promises. Weed out gossip and fluff, but pay attention, as you could learn something useful.

Libra

Today, watch for hidden costs, both socially and financially. There is a tendency to go big and ignore important details now. However, bigger isn’t always better. Avoid making big promises, and believing in ones made to you. It’s not that people are intentionally trying to mislead now. In fact, it may be the opposite. However, we could be overestimating our abilities. Some moderation is appropriate now, and can actually turn a potentially awkward day into a happy, rewarding one.

Scorpio

Avoid turning to others to find your own happiness today. This would be setting yourself up to fail. Not only are the people in your life unreliable today, even if they were completely there for you, happiness comes from your own making. There is a competitive and possibly over the top energy to the day. Avoid trying too hard to get others onboard with your way of thinking, as a friendly debate today can turn into a major event. Today, the temptation is to do and say more, when keeping within reasonable boundaries is best.

Sagittarius

You can be up and down emotionally today. Watch that you don’t attempt to push something too quickly now, because desires and new endeavors tend to burn out fast if they’re based on whims or are born out of pure restlessness. If you’re feeling unusually good, you might be tempted to sign up for more than you can later deliver. Optimism is a strength, but if it leads you into unrealistic territory, you may be going too far. Responsibilities and restrictions seem excessive, as it’s a day when you want to have some fun.

Capricorn

Good intentions can be behind taking on a new endeavor or challenge today, but if plans are not well laid out, it could become a burden later on. Moods can swing today, and it may be useful to remember that the higher you go, the harder you fall. It’s not about restricting happiness, but rather distinguishing between a whim and a true desire. Cultivate emotional self-control for the important things; otherwise, indulge yourself within moderation.

Aquarius

When it comes to matters of the heart today, try not to rush or push anything. You can have high expectations, or you could be tempted to make big, bold moves that could be premature or over the top. However, conditions are such that we might overreach and fall as a result. Going a little overboard might be fun now, but for the truly important things, it’s better to respect everyone’s boundaries, including your own.

Pisces

Ask yourself whether something you’re craving now will benefit you later, or whether it might be cause for regret. It can be very difficult taking others’ advice right now, so try to keep yourself in the position to manage your own resources. You may keep certain things to yourself if you’d rather not receive unsolicited advice. Restlessness is a real problem right now. Tame it, and you’ll have a much better chance of enjoying a fun and rewarding day.

The following aspects (major only) and positions are at noon (EST) on November 9th:

Note that when an aspect is Applying, it has not yet happened but is within orb – it’s pending. When an aspect is Separating, it has already happened/perfected and is moving away from the aspect. Depending on the speed of the planet/body involved, the aspect will have perfected, or will perfect, in a matter of hours (often the case with the Moon), days, months, and possibly years in the case of the very slow-moving outer planets and bodies.

Note that the Moon moves at a rate of approximately one degree every 2 hours, so that if an aspect involving is applying and has an orb of 5 degrees, the aspect will perfect (be exact) in about 10 hours. If the Moon is separating from an aspect with an orb of 2 degrees, it has already formed said aspect approximately 4 hours ago (since the following are positions at noon today, then it would have occurred at about 8 AM today).
